Mercedes clear up George Russell’s last lap radio message and puncture concern
George Russell reported he had a puncture on the final 🍰lap of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell feared he had a puncture on the final lap of the F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix but it turned out ♋to be a🌃 false alarm.
The Mercedes driver finished sixth in Jeddah, three places ahead of teammate168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton, but reported he had a “fr🍷ont right puncture” on the last lap of the gr꧟and prix.
Mercedes’ data showed no sign of any problem with the tyre and Russell was able to take the cheq꧃uered flag wit🀅hout drama.
“𒁏He came on the radio, as you’ll have heard and said, ‘front right puncture’. So he was concerned that he did,” Mercedes trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin sa𝔉id.
“Now, what he was feeling was a vibration that suddenly appeared. He was concerned that it was the tyre that was losing air about to fail. But we can just look ✅at our data and we can see that the tyre was fine in that sense.
“We can see the pressure on all four tyres live. So we would spot a puncture normally before even the driver sees it. Certainly, if it was a relatively slow 🎃puncture we'd say it befo♔re the driver.
“So we reassured him that that was fine. He said he could still feel a vibration. We chꦗecked the level of the vibration was nothing to concern us, we could see som🍸ething, but it wasn't out of the ordinary.
“We were able to check that theꦚ brakes are all fine, which is obviously one of the key things. So we went back again and said, well, car looks fine for us.
“We told him the gap to the car behind just so that he knows he doesn't need to push. There's no one within four seconds, and he can actually take it easy for the remainder♔ of the lap.”
Shovlin said Mercedes will have to wait for Pirelli to carry out their own investigation to discover whe൲ther there was any🥃 damage to Russell’s tyre.
“When we got the car back, checked everything. That all looks fine,” he added. “Now the tyre, we can't check because that belongs to P🐷irelli. So they've taken that off for analysis. But as I said, everything🥃 we can see, it looks okay.
“There was vibration data, but that can be as little as you just get some of the rubb🌳er pick up can get stuck on a tyre, can actually put it quite out of balance.
“So we'll let Pirelli do their investigations. But certainly from our side fro💫m the point of view of the car, there's nothing that we can see that's a problem.”
